French Postal Codes
Overview
France employs a 5-digit postal code system known as Code Postal (CP). Each code uniquely identifies a commune or geographical area within the country.
Postal Code Structure
French postal codes consist of five digits:
- The first two digits represent the department (administrative division) in which the location is situated.
- The last three digits further narrow down the location within the department, typically identifying a commune or group of communes.
Using Postal Codes
Postal codes are used for mail delivery and address identification throughout France. They are essential for accurate mail routing and are often used in conjunction with street names and house numbers.
Interactive Maps
Interactive maps are available online, allowing users to view the distribution of postal codes across France and search for specific locations based on their postal code.
Additional Information
The French postal code system is managed by La Poste, the national postal service. For detailed information and support, users can refer to the La Poste website or contact their local post office.
